My day starts anywhere between 5:00am and 6:00am. Talmage decided that he likes to wake up really early! So we wake up, play, bottle, diaper change, get dressed, breakfast etc. That's Talmage's routine. After that, we take daddy to work. Once we get home, I start my workout. I've been working out 6 days a week (every now and then I skip a day) and I love it. It's definately hard but I love the feeling afterwards. And I've already lost 4 inches so I'm happy! I love the feeling of being toned and fit.

Anyways, then I try to get Talmage down for a nap. Key word = TRY. He doesn't like his naps very much lately. Then, while he's sleeping, I get ready for the day and start on school. I just started my online classes this week. I'm taking 4 whopping classes! This is the first since before Talmage so wish me luck! After Talmage's we run errands, play together, do more homework, play together, housework, etc. And hopefully he takes an afternoon nap. Then, I teach piano lesson for s few hours in the afternoon. After that, we go pick up daddy! I've been taking him and picking him up everyday because he's on Oxycodone for his kidney stones (which STILL haven't passed!).

So there you have it! A rough schedule of our everyday life! Not that you care, but just in case!

Remember my post 3 months ago about Jacob having kidney stones in both his kidneys? Well he ended up passing the right kidney stones about a month later. So the doctor put him "under" and supposedly blasted the left kidney stones. Guess what... He didn't!!!! Friday morning at 5 am Jacob woke me to take him to the ER. And Talmage decided to have a bad night and wake up at 3:30 am and go back to bed until a few minutes before 5. My poor poor hubby! He's been a trooper! Groggy and a little cranky but definately a trooper! I look up to him! He's my hero! Get better hubba!

2. He is CRUISING! He's walking along the couches and standing up and walking around tables.

3. He's climbing stairs!! He climbed my parents entire staircase on Sunday and then did it again on Monday! (Don't worry, we were behind him. We just wanted to see how far he'd actually go.)

4. He walks and pushes his walker thing. I'm not sure what it is called but It has a handle and four wheels. We are impressed!

5. He walks with only one hand being held!

I can't believe my baby is almost walking! It's exciting yet scary at the same time. He is so active already! I'm not looking forward to school starting next semester. It's going to be tough to manage online classes and keep up with my ever so active fun playing boy! Wish us luck!

Eternal Marriage

"An eternal marriage is eternal. Eternal implies continuing growth and improvement. It means that man and wife will honestly try to perfect themselves. It means that the marriage relationship is not to be frivolously discarded at the first sign of disagreement or when times get hard. It signifies that love will grow stronger with time and that it extends beyond the grave. It means that each partner will be blessed with the company of the other partner forever and that problems and differences might as well be resolved because they are not going to go away. Eternal signifies repentance, forgiveness, long-suffering, patience, hope, charity, love, and humility. All of these things are involved in anything that is eternal, and surely we must learn and practice them if we intend to claim an eternal marriage."(F. Burton Howard, "Eternal Marriage," Ensign, May 2003, 92-93)
